It’s actually pretty good in a crockpot!

LMAO. 

Chicken of the jungle. It tastes pretty good but the texture is weird, kinda stringy. Best in small bites deep fried. 

Flordia needs to step up and make a permanent bounty on invasive species heads. 

Hmmmmm, deep fried iguana...maybe with a honey mustard dipping sauce. 
 

I know how I’d solve this problem. Get with the program, Florida!

They also have a nutria problem.

Years ago Texas paid a bounty on nutria rats. At least some counties did, I don’t know if they still do. 
 

We used to hunt them with .22’s.

And big Burmese python, tegu, and lionfish problem. Along with smaller problems with boas and other exotic invasive species. 

Oh yeah @Displaced Texan there is plenty of wild boar too

Flordia is a mess as far as invasive wildlife is concerned 

I have my own wild boar problem.  I do NOT have a problem with lion fish, boas (although I have plenty of rattlesnakes), nutria rats, pythons,  or iguanas. 

WTF is a tegu?
 

Pretty sure I can arrange a party to deal with the wild boar problem if it gets too bad .

This sounds like awesomeness in the crockpot! Sweet baby rays! Low! 4 hours! And for @silverado427.... pineapple.

I’ve seen plenty of road runners...not sure if they were methbillies or not.

Yeah rattlers are pretty mellow and 75% of the time they let you know they are around

No but you could imagine it right? Lol

Tegus have explosive speed. Google tegu in flordia videos

Agreed although I only take pictures of them now

Well there is a bit of meat on the tail..... although they prefer snails they will eat pretty much anything so I'd only eat a tegu if I had to but the iguanas are mostly vegetarian. Definitely game on with the deep fried iguana 

A nice lion fish ceviche followed by iguana bites and a main course of wild boar ribs would make for a great invasive species dinner. 

No crockpot needed 

Who.needs  rock lobsters and mahi mahi haha
